The Jagged Frontier of AI Capabilities
AI is amazing at things that should be hard and terrible at things that should be easy. That jaggedness is the key to using it well.
Wikipedia Is Your Friend (When You Use It Right)
Wikipedia gets a bad rap in school, but it's still one of the best places to start a research project. The trick is knowing how — not whether — to use it. But the rule is more nuanced than "never use it." Smart researchers — including AI researchers — start at Wikipedia and use it as a launchpad to better sources.
Spotting Peer-Reviewed Research vs Random Opinions
Peer review means other experts read a paper before it was published and approved it. That single check makes a huge difference in trustworthiness.
The Publication Date Check
AI gives you confident answers about facts that may have changed. The publication date of any source is the first thing to check — including AI's training cutoff.
The Three-Source Rule
Smart researchers don't trust any single source. They cross-check claims across at least three independent sources before treating something as fact.
Asking AI for Sources (and Verifying Them)
When AI mentions a study, book, or article, your job is to verify the source actually exists — not just trust AI's summary of it.
Spotting Fake Citations Made by AI
Fabricated citations are AI's most dangerous failure mode for research. Knowing the signs saves you from accidentally citing something that doesn't exist.
Building a Glossary as You Research
Every new field has its own vocabulary. Building a personal glossary as you research saves time on later projects in the same field.
Narrowing a Too-Broad Topic
"Climate change" is too broad. "How sea levels affect Miami real estate prices" is just right. Knowing how to narrow saves weeks of wasted research. The wide top is broad ideas ("AI").
Expanding a Too-Narrow Topic
Sometimes you pick a question so specific that no published research exists. Recognizing this fast — and broadening just enough — saves the project.
Plagiarism vs Paraphrasing (For Builders)
Paraphrasing is putting an idea in your own words after you understood it. Word-swapping is just sneaky copying. Schools detect both — but only one is real research. "AI is helpful" becomes "Artificial intelligence is useful." That's not paraphrasing — that's sneaky copying.
Presenting Research Clearly
Research is wasted if you can't communicate it. Strong presentation isn't about flashy graphics — it's about helping the reader understand what you found.
Using AI as a Research Coach (Not a Ghostwriter)
AI as a research coach asks you good questions, points out weak spots, and helps you think clearer. AI as a ghostwriter does your work for you. Same tool, very different uses.
